7.1 PtAssetType ObjectType Definition

7.1.1 Overview

The PtAssetType provides the properties that are required for identifying assets of a powertrain and is formally defined in Table 18.

7.1.2 Object Description

All common asset attributes types are defined and described within chapter 7.11.

Note to the optional property 2:DeviceClass applied from IMachineryItemVendorNameplateType defined in OPC 40001-1: OPC UA for Machinery: All asset types of this specification are defined as "Drive". If a manufacturer creates its own subtype of PtAssetType to represent a component for which none of the defined subtypes of PtAssetType can be used, the new subtype should also use the DeviceClass "Drive".

Note to the mandatory properties 2:Manufacturer and 2:SerialNumber: If there are assets where these values cannot be provided the use of a "empty string" is recommended.

7.1.3 InstanceDeclarations of the Subtypes of PtAssetType

The InstanceDeclarations of the subtypes of PtAssetType have a value for the DefaultInstanceBrowseName. The DefaultInstanceBrowseName value defines the recommended BrowseName for instances of the type. Instances use an additional enumeration (BrowseName_01) in the BrowseName. The extension of the BrowseName by XY starts with "01" for the first instance and should be continued accordingly for each further instance ("02", "03"......."10", etc.).
